Imphal, October 02 2017:
The Aimol Tribe Union Manipur (ATUM) has urged all concerned to stop collecting 'house tax,' ransom or percentage cut in all Aimol villages .
Addressing a press meet today at Manipur Press Club, ATUM president RT Akhel Aimol said that the peaceful atmosphere in Pallel Aimol area of Tengnoupal district has been disturbed due to several alleged criminal acts perpetrated on the villagers .
Terrorising minority community or coercing them cannot be tolerated.
The principle or stand of Aimol community cannot be altered through such tactics, Akhel Aimol said .
Instead, all concerned should promote peaceful coexistence among all ethnic communities true to Christian values, he added .
Akhel also pointed out that some vested interests (supporters of a particular group) are instigating and abetting such criminal acts in the area with the sole aim of deriving personal benefits .
ATUM will never compromise with those who illegally occupied Aimols' land.
